Visiting hours
We recommend visiting between 8 am and 8 pm. After these hours, doors are locked as most residents are resting. Please call ahead for after-hours visits to ensure entry.
What forms of payment do you accept?
While we primarily operate on a private-pay basis, we will work with you to ensure flexibility and accessibility in payment options.
How do I find out about the activities provided for the resident?
We aim to create social programs and individualized activities to cater to each resident’s capabilities and needs, significantly aiding in their rehabilitation process. Activities include active resident councils, musical performances, current events updates, newspaper readings, singing exercises, fitness activities, stretching exercises, religious meetings, outside entertainment, games, trivia, history, and volunteer involvement. We also encourage family participation in these activities.
A monthly calendar is displayed to keep residents updated on upcoming events like birthday parties, movies, musical programs, outings, candlelight dinners, ice cream socials, and other special events. Friends and family are always welcome to visit and join our special events.
What role does Social Services play?
Our social services team supports residents and their families during transitions. They provide crucial information, manage requests and concerns, and assist in care and discharge planning. Professional services such as Dental, Vision, Podiatry, Audiology, Power of Attorney, Dementia assessment, Psychosocial and Psychiatric Evaluation, and Individual therapy can be arranged.
How is the laundry done? Can family members take laundry home?
If you prefer to have your laundry done by us, please inform the front office upon admission. If a family member or caregiver will handle laundry at home, notify the nursing station so a sign can be placed on the closet door for housekeeping staff to leave clothing for family pick-up. We ask that families provide a hamper for clothes and collect it twice a week.
All personal clothing is washed in an industrial machine at 180 degrees. Ensure clothing is suitable for these temperatures. Avoid bringing items that require special care or may be damaged. All clothing must be labeled with the resident’s name, not room number or initials, in large letters inside the neckline or waistband. Mark all items, including socks, shoes, and personal belongings.
What articles of clothing should we bring?
We recommend approximately five changes of clothing and comfortable rubber-soled shoes. All items should be washed, clearly labeled with the resident’s name in permanent ink, and entered into the resident’s personal inventory log in the medical chart. Other personal items should be marked or engraved. Residents are advised not to keep valuable jewelry or large amounts of cash in the facility.
Is there a limit to the number of people who can visit at one time?
While we have no formal visitation guidelines, we suggest using common areas to meet your loved one. If visiting in a common area isn’t possible, we recommend limiting to one to three people in a resident room at a time.
